music software?

Question

I want to start sampling music - can anyone recommend a good, free program that I can use to mix tracks and add beats etc? Pref something simple because I'm just a newbie! Cheers

Answer 1

How about Mixcraft, it's only a trial though but I've tried it and it's pretty good heres the link

Answer 2

there are "some" things which are free. but well you pay for what you get at the end of the day in a lot of cases..



perhaps buy computer music mag for a start.. that has a sequencer on the cover disk and some other bits.



as for audio editing.. audacity, which you can download free



u could buy something like reason or fruityloops or a light version of cubase or ableton



a lot of ASIO soundcards / m-audio keyboards come with a lite version of ableton live.. you need a decent soundcard for a start, the bog standard ones don't cut the mustard.



me i use cubase 4+ reason 3, neither are cheap, but i look at them as tools of my trade, so i need em.



have a look at

Answer 3

Its worth making an investment. Get a copy of fruity loops. Its simple, kind of. But bear in mind that because you are combining several jobs together (composer, arranger, producer and engineer) it will take a while to learn and the curve will be steep.

Answer 4

Programs like that are not free but but try looking for fruity loops and put the serial number in it. that's the one i have for making beat and for downloading music, movie and more i have ares.

Answer 5
